Viva Kemsuzian Obituary

Viva Marie Kemsuzian

LEWIS CENTER: Viva Marie Kemsuzian, 47 of Lewis Center, passed away on Thursday, December 15, 2011 at her home surrounded by family.

The time for tears has passed. As I prepare for the next phase of my journey, please come and join my wonderful husband Eric in the celebration of my life. My son Justin "Romey" Held and his girlfriend Jen Monaghan along with my mother, Martha Carroll and siblings, Jeff and his wife Sally, Kristy, and Corbin Carroll will all be there. So please, bring your fondest memories and funniest stories as we ring-in this new chapter of my journey!

Memorable times will abound, in the kind of gathering that was truly Viva.

A celebratory service will be held at 3 P.M. Thursday, December 22, 2011 at SCHOEDINGER WORTHINGTON CHAPTER, 6699 N. High St., immediately followed by the kind of gathering and reception only Viva could put together. There will be stories, food and "spirits" shared, good times had, and enough love and laughter to fill the room. Judge Kenneth Spicer, officiating.

Contributions may be made in Viva's memory to The Colon Cancer Alliance, 1025 Vermont Ave. NW, Suite 1066, Washington D.C. 20005.

This page about Viva Kemsuzian came up on my emails. It’s been many years since her passing. I think about my son and Viva’s son, Justin, who were high school friends. I know the holidays without family members who have died, is difficult, and my sympathy is with Justin who has lost not only his Mom at a young age, but also his stepfather Eric as well. Justin, I hope you and your wife have a blessed Christmas, and a healthy happy New Year!

The day will be perfect for what we must do. Your flower beds are in full bloom. The mass of roses we planted last year are ready for your service today. The foresight of that project is in full view Viva. There are at least a thousand rose blossoms. A portion of your ashes will be interned here today just you wanted. Where we spent some of they best and in the end,worst time of our lives together.
The balance of your ashes will accompany me to our next chapter in our journey.
Today will be one of our worst days ever. Still, I cant't wait.
I love you. God speed.

Viva passed away a month ago today. The service for Viva was elegant and festive like she would have wanted. The room was decorated with over 250 roses and filled to overflowing. May she rest in peace.

Justin being one of my best friends I'd spend a lot of time at the Kemsuzian's house. Viva was always so welcoming and I always left with a full stomach she made sure I ate as much as my stomach could take. She knew how too cook and she knew how to make you feel like family. I loved Viva and I am missing her deeply.

Viva, you touched my life when you were hostess for a 2005 graduation party for our boys, Justin and Andy. I didn't know you very well, but knew enough about how you welcomed Justin's friends into your home that when I needed your comeraderie in raising young teenage/young adult boys, I found your friendship and good conversation on those topics. I didn't know you were so ill since then, or I would have called to visit with you again. May God be with you on this next leg of your journey, and he'll have one of the prettiest angels in heaven working with him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Justin and Eric. The Cromley Family

I grew up with Viva. I remember her mother giving us vegetable drinks at the farm. She was one of a kind. We enjoyed dressing up and singing. Babysitting Corbin while he rocked his crib. Although I have lost contact the fond memories are forever. Condolences to Martha and family. Kimberly (Foster) Cremeans, Thornville Ohio
